Cheyenne Regional Medical Center

None of the 11 people on ventilators due to the coronavirus had been fully vaccinated.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family of a 28-year-old Cheyenne man who died from injuries he suffered Tuesday night in a suspected DUI crash.

A driver who was rear-ended by a speeding car in east Cheyenne Tuesday night has died, according to police.

Two drivers were taken to the hospital after a rear-end collision in east Cheyenne Tuesday night, police said Wednesday.

Only one of the patients in the ICU or on a ventilator is vaccinated.

But the overall number of people hospitalized with the virus at CRMC has declined markedly from about a month ago when 57 people were hospitalized with the coronavirus.

Hospitalizations from COVID-19 are continuing to fall in Laramie County, just weeks after spiking to the highest level since Dec. 7, 2020.

Governor Mark Gordon announced on Tuesday that Wyoming guard members would be assigned to help hospitals across Wyoming cope with surging COVID-19 cases.

The latest numbers also continued a trend of a large majority--but not all--of the COVID patients at CRMC being people who were not fully vaccinated against the virus.

Chapman said federal statistics show that people who are vaccinated are ten times less likely to die or become seriously ill from the virus, and five times less likely to become infected at all.
